The rumored WaPo McCain drug story is now in LBN.

[LeftyMom]

I'm guessing we'll be back to Yellow X Alert in a few.

1. There's no way we can attack her on this without making her the victim

I wish this would just be ignored.

[cwydro]

2. Yes, what you said.

Also this story is years old and being released again on a Friday before a major hurricane hits a hugely populated area.

No legs.

[NV Whino]

3. The important part is McCain's coverup

but it's not being emphasized. This is going to die unless something more comes out.

I would like to see the guy's actual journals, though.

[LeftyMom]

4. I'm not real impressed with the story either. nt

[Shell Beau]

5. Well here we go.

[AlCzervik]

6. i have no interest at all in that story.

am i alone?

[Dr. Strange]

7. I wouldn't say I'm not interested in it.

But I don't think it makes as effective a weapon against McCain as GD-P probably thinks.

[madinmaryland]

9. I put the person that was posted a brazilion of those threads on ignore yesterday.

I have since taken them off ignore.

[AlCzervik]

10. yes it went past ridiculous 2 days ago and what bothered me about the whole

thing was that anyone who doubted or said it wasn't the big story she made it out to be was called a troll.

Well sorry, it just ain't that big, McCain getting kick backs from someone, yes that would be big.

[madinmaryland]

11. Yeah. It was almost as bad as the crapstorm that occured in

GD:PP about a video made in the mid 90's about the Clinton campaign of 1992.

[PassingFair]

12. Having a doctor make out prescriptions in other people's names...

without their knowledge is BIG.

I would be looking to charge ANYONE who
was getting vicodin prescriptions filled under
MY name, and without MY knowledge.

She was a junkie like Rush, and had "little people"
take the fall.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

14. The M.D. had to surrender his license

His entire life was torn apart.

He knows he screwed up. But, he did it.

Cindy also copped to her part in the scam.

Ugly all the way around, but adjudicated fifteen years ago.

Party's over, folks.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

13. You're not alone

It was handled and closed years ago, the guy, Gosinski, making the allegations (again) tried to shake the McCains down for quarter of a million bucks, got told to hit the road, dropped his charges, and took off.

The only thing I find interesting about it is how it's distracting Democrats without a clue from the more pressing matters, and keeping them in thrall. I would guess, if I were more cynical, that some smart Republican planted this story for that precise purpose. And so, like good little lemmings, they run after this nonsense, believing, without rational reason, that it has some sort of significance.

It doesn't.

8. Great. No more "Hide Thread" feature, and it's Friday.

:(

[Tangerine LaBamba]

15. Oh, why would you want to hide any of this?

I mean, really. Don't you find it even faintly amusing? I do, but then, I always find this kind of stuff entertaining.

By the way, our mutual friend, the one whose email address you so kindly gave me, told me to tell you that you're one of the few that our mutual friend misses. All is well in mutual friend's world, though.

Thank you again.
